Collaborative Projects
MU students have collaborated with a variety of community partners to create interesting and memorable history projects to share with the public. Such partners have included the American Friends Service Committee (Philadelphia, PA) and the Greater Pittston Historical Society (Pittston, PA). Click on the link below for more information and to see these projects.
Digital Humanities & Pedagogy (DHP) at Misericordia University aims to invigorate faculty teaching with innovative tools and practices as the field of digital humanities (DH) continues to evolve in the future. Through practical experiences designed to develop students’ technological skills, we engage and share knowledge with our local community.
Past history students have worked with the National Park Service at the Steamtown Historic Site, at the Lackawanna Coal Mine, the Anthracite Heritage Museum, Eckley Miner’s Village, Luzerne County Historical Society, the Misericordia Archives, the Greater Pittston Historical Society, the National Federation for the Blind (Baltimore, MD), and the National Archives and Records Administration (Washington, DC). Pre-Law students are required to complete two semesters of internships at a qualified law firm. Students have the opportunity for paid internships on and off-campus.

Misericordia regularly sends our students out into the community to build their professional experience and serve others. Since 2016, MU has sent several students to internships in Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Scranton, PA; and Eckley, PA. Read more about our students’ work in area historic sites, museums, and other related public history endeavors.
Students in the History Program have a variety of opportunities to work on special projects with faculty, with members of the community, and with other students. Such projects include working on exhibits locally and on campus, volunteering for history-related events, taking oral histories from members of the community, and organizing special events for the community. Many of our students’ local history projects are featured online at MU Local History Projects website.

Students receive summer research stipends and course credit to work directly with faculty on research as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program. Since 2015, students in history have worked on several public history exhibits with local historical societies to preserve history in the Wyoming Valley.
The Region 2 competition for National History Day in Pennsylvania will now be hosted by the University of Scranton, beginning with the 2019 contest (tentatively scheduled for April 6, 2019). For more information about this event, please contact Dr. Sean Brennan at the University of Scranton (sean.brennan@scranton.edu); or Jeff Hawks, NHD-PA state coordinator (eddirector@armyheritage.org).
From 2014-2018, Misericordia University was the host for the Region 2 National History Day in PA contest, under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Black.
